However, some sources who spoke to News24, say Zuma has been given 48 hours to resign, if he refuses he will be removed via parliamentary proceedings.

According to some NEC sources, Ramaphosa told them that Zuma had agreed to resign during their Tuesday meeting but then Zuma wanted to put 3 months stay in office condition. It was rejected by NEC.

The NEC is, according to the ANC’s constitution, mandated to remove its public office bearers.

On Sunday morning, News24 reported that cautious NEC members want the party’s highest decision-making body, between conferences, to also give the Parliamentary caucus a mandate to support a motion of no confidence against Zuma, in case he defies the NEC decision to recall him.

Will Zuma resign or be embarrassed through a recall? It’s only a matter of time.
